This account of P. mollis is based on the examination of 89 specimens. Tho colour 

 seems to deepen as the localities are situated more and more towards the east, Jonpri 

 and Chumbi specimens having dark purple corollas, Ladak ones pale pink corollas. The 



species is closely allied, as Mr. Maximowicz shows, to the Caucasica? ; but though it has 



a low staminal insertion, the corolla tube appears to me to deserve being spoken of as 

 'infract' rather than ' incurved' at the apex— the difference after all is only MM of 

 degree; it certainly is not straight. The figure copied from Bot. Mag., I.e., has the 

 advantage of having been drawn from a fresh flower.
